The Mormon White House
The Mormon White House and the White Horse Prophecy. Mitt Romney has
been raised to fulfill Joseph Smiths vision of a Mormon becoming
President Of The United States...
Mitt Romney and the White Horse Prophecy
Joseph Smith ran for
president in 1844 as an independent commander in chief of an “army of God”
advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government in favor of a Mormon-ruled
theocracy. Smith prophesied that if the U.S. Congress did not accede to his
demands that “they shall be broken up as a government and God shall damn
them.” Smith viewed capturing the
presidency as part of the mission of the church. He had predicted the emergence of “the one Mighty and Strong” — a leader who
would “set in order the house of God” — and became the first of many prominent
Mormon men to claim the mantle.
Out of Smith’s
national political ambitions grew what would become known in Mormon circles as
the “White Horse Prophecy” — a belief ingrained in Mormon culture and passed
down through generations by church leaders that the day would come when the
U.S. Constitution would “hang like a thread as fine as a silk fiber” and the
Mormon priesthood would save it. -More at Salon.com
The Entire Mormon White Horse Prophecy
1. On
or about the sixth day of May, 1843, a grand review of the Nauvoo Legion was
held in Nauvoo. The Prophet Joseph complimented them for their good discipline
and evolutions performed. The weather being hot, he called for a glass of
water.
2.
With the glass of water in his hand, he said, “I will drink you a toast
to the overthrow of the mobocrats,” which he did in language as follows:
“Here’s wishing they were in the middle of the sea, in a stone canoe with iron
paddles, and a shark swallow the canoe, and the Devil swallow the shark, and
him locked up in the northwest corner of Hell, the key lost and a blind man
hunting for it.”
[19] 3.
The next morning a man who had heard the Prophet give the toast here
referred to, visited the mansion of the Prophet, and so abused him with bad
language, that he was ordered out by the Prophet.
4.
It was while the two were out, that my attention was attracted to them,
and hearing the man speaking in a loud tone of voice, I went toward them, the
man finally leaving. There were then present the Prophet Joseph Smith, Theodore
Turley and myself. The Prophet began talking to us of the mobbings and
drivings, the persecutions we as a people had endured. “But,” said he, “We will
have worse things to see; our persecutors will have all the mobbings they want.
Don’t wish them any harm, for when you see their sufferings, you will shed
tears for them.”
5.
While this conversation was going on, we stood by his south wicker gate
in a triangle. Turning to me, he said, “I want to tell you something. In the
future I will speak in parables like unto John, the Revelator.” (Little did I
then think the prophet of the Lord would so soon be slain in cold blood.)
6.
Continuing, he said, “You will go to the Rocky Mountains, and you will
see a great and mighty people established, which I will call the White Horse of
Peace and Safety.”
7.
When the Prophet said, “You will see,” I asked him where he would be at
that time.” He answered, “I shall never go there.”
8.
”Your enemies will continue to follow you with persecutions, and they
will make obnoxious laws against you in Congress to destroy the White Horse.
[20] 9.
”But you will have a friend or two to defend you and throw out the worst
part of the laws, so they will not hurt much.
10.
”You must continue to petition Congress all the time, but they will
treat you like strangers and aliens, and they will not give you your rights but
will govern you with strangers and commissioners;
11.
”You will see the Constitution of the United States almost destroyed; it
will hang by a thread, and that thread as fine as the finest silk fiber.”
12.
At this point the Prophet’s countenance became sad; because as he said,
“I love the Constitution;
13.
”It was made by the inspiration of God,
14.
”And it will be preserved and saved by the efforts of the White Horse
and the Red Horse who will combine in its defense.
15.
”The White Horse will raise an ensign on the tops of the mountains of
peace and safety where all nations may flee unto for safety.
16.
”The White Horse will find the mountains full of minerals, and they will
become very rich. You will find silver piled up in the streets. (At this time,
it must be remembered that it was not known that the precious metals existed
either in the Rocky Mountains or in California.) You will see gold shoveled up
like sand.
17.
”Gold will be but of little value even in a mercantile capacity, for the
people of the world will have something else to do in seeking for salvation.
[21] 18.
”The time will come when the banks in every nation will fail, and only
two places will be safe where the people can deposit their gold and treasure.
These places will be with the White Horse and England’s vaults.
19.
”A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America, such as
has never been seen before, for the land will be literally left without a
supreme government, and every species of wickedness will run rampant; it will
be so terrible that father will be against son and son against father, mother
against daughter and daughter against mother. The most terrible scenes of
murder and bloodshed and rapine that have ever been looked upon will take
place.
20.
”Peace will be taken from the earth, and there will be no peace only in
the Rocky Mountains. This will cause hundreds and thousands of the honest in
heart of the world to gather there, not because they would be saints, but for
safety, and because they would not take up the sword against their neighbors.
21.
”You will be so numerous that you will be in danger of famine, but not
for the want of seed time and harvest, but that so many will have to be fed.
Many will come with bundles under their arms to escape the calamities, and
there will be no escape, only by fleeing to Zion.
22.
”Those that come to you will try and keep the laws and be one with you,
for they will see your unity and the greatness of your organizations.
23.
”The Turkish Empire or the Crescent will be one of the first powers that
will be disrupted as a power, for freedom must be given for the Gospel to be
preached in the Holy Land.
[22] 24.
”The Lord took of the best blood of the nations, and planted them
on the small island now called
England, or Great Britain, and gave them great powers in the nations for a
thousand years, and this power will
continue with them, that they may keep the balance of power, that they
may keep Russia from usurping power over all the world.
25.
”England and France are now bitter enemies, but they will be allied
together in order to keep Russia from conquering the world.
26.
”The two Popes, Greek and Catholic, will come together and be united.
The Protestant religions do not know how much they are indebted to Henry VIII
for throwing off the Pope’s bull and establishing the Protestant faith. He was
the only monarch that could do so at the time, and he did it because the nation
was at his back to sustain him.
27.
One of the peculiar features in England is the established red coat, a
uniform making so remarkable a mark to shoot at, and yet they have conquered
wherever they have gone. The reason for this will be known by them some day.
The Lion and the Unicorn of England is the ensign of Israel. The wisdom and
statesmanship of England comes from there being so much of the blood of Israel
in the nation.
28.
”While the terrible revolution of which mention has been made is going
on, England will be neutral until it becomes so inhuman that she will interfere
to stop the shedding of blood. England and France will then unite together and
come with intention to make peace, not to subdue the nation. They will find the
nation so broken up and so many claiming government, still there will be no
[23] responsible government. Then it will appear to the other nations or powers
as though England had taken possession of the country.
29.
”The Black Horse will flee to the invaders and will join with them, for
they will have fear of becoming slaves again, knowing England does not believe
in slavery, fleeing to them, they believed would make them safe. Armed with
British bayonets, the doings of the Black Horse will be terrible.”
30.
So the Prophet said he could not bear to look longer upon the scene as
shown him in vision, that he asked the Lord to close the scene.
31.
Continuing, he said: “During this time, the great White Horse will have
gathered strength, sending out elders to get the honest in heart of the United
States to stand by the Constitution of the United States, as it was given by
inspiration of the Lord.
32.
”In these days, God will set up a kingdom, never to be thrown down, for
other kingdoms to come unto, and these kingdoms that will not let the Gospel be
preached will be humbled until they will.
33.
”England, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Holland, and
Belgium have a considerable amount of the blood of Israel among their people,
which must be gathered. These nations will submit to the Kingdom of God.
England will do it as a whole, in comparison as she threw off the Catholic
power. The nobility know the Gospel is true, but it has not enough pomp and
grandeur and influence for them to embrace it. They are proud and will not
acknowledge the Kingdom of God, or come unto it until they see the power which
it will have.
[24] 34.
”Peace and safety in the Rocky Mountains will be protected by a cord and
band of the White Horse and the Red Horse.
35.
”The coming of the Ten Tribes of Israel, the coming of the Messiah among
His people, will be so natural that only those who see Him will know He has
come, but He will come and give His law unto Zion and minister unto His people.
This will not be His coming in the clouds of heaven to take vengeance on the
world.
36.
The Temple in Jackson County will be built in this generation. The
saints will think there will not be time to build it, but with all the great
help you will receive, you can put up a great temple quickly. You will have
gold, silver, and precious stones, for these things only will be used for
beautifying the temple, all the skilled mechanics you want, and the Ten Tribes
of Israel to help you build it. When you see this land bounded with iron, you
may look toward Jackson County.”
37.
At this point he made a pause, and looking up as though the vision was
still in view, he said, “There is a land beyond the Rocky Mountains that will
be invaded by the heathen Chinese, unless great care and protection are given.
Speaking of the heathen, where there is no law there is no condemnation; this
will apply to them.
38.
”Power will be given the White Horse to rebuke nations afar off and they
will obey, not that they will be one with the White Horse, but when the law
goes forth, they will obey, for the law will go forth from Zion.
39.
”The last great struggle Zion will have to contend with will be when the
whole of America will be made the Zion of God.
[25] 40.
”Those opposing will be called Gog and Magog The nations of the
world led by the Russian Czar and
their power, will be great, but all
opposition will be overcome, and this land will be then the Zion of
our God.” -AddictingInfoOrg
